This post card shows the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, built in 1896 on the corner of Cross Street (now southbound U.S. 41) and Virginia Avenue in Punta Gorda. The site for the "carpenter-gothic" wood frame structure was donated by Albert Gilchrist and funding for construction was donated by Elizabeth (Mrs. Samuel) Colt, widow of the founder of the Colt Firearms Company in Hartford, Connecticut. The man in the circular inset photo is unidentified. The post card was not mailed, but is overwritten on both sides and signed "Nora" on Side 1. The writer is thought to have been Nora Chapman Whiteaker, U.S. Cleveland's maternal grandmother.
